Is Krypton green still an available to order colour?
I ask as a dealer lists an Exige as 2008 model but Lotus don't list the colour now.

What are the differences between 2007 and 2008 models? inc. All the touring/ sport pack for the year etc,

Not a perfect answer but Lipscomb have a Exige in Krypton Green looks stunning. Sure that is an 08 spec car.

Isotope looks even better than krypton IMO. Very LOUD but suits the Exige.

I second that - My mates S1 Sport 160 is Krypton Green now I think about it, so must be the green for earlier cars. That car at Lipscomb's is stunning - if I had the extra money from my Elise today I would drive it to the alps this afternoon.

I need to earn more .........

The S1 green was Scandal Green I think.

I think you'll find if you speak to a dealer that Lotus will paint the car whatever colour. I inquired about having my new Exige in Norfolk Mustard and was told it would cost about £1500.00.

Yeah there are deffo three LOUD greens now. Not seen any S1s in Krypton, that's not to say some very late ones didn't sneak through in it though.

Lotus will paint your car any colour you like from new, either from their back-catalogue or from your specification for an extra fee.

Case in point Stephanie Plum's Type 25 2-Eleven (Jim Clark F1 Stylee) on SELOC

Lotus will indeed paint your new Lotus whatever colour you like. I supplied a Krypton Green 08 Exige PP a couple of months ago as a special order.

Krypton Green is not a 2008 colour btw.

Agreed - really not my sort of colour at all but suits the car brilliantly.

Agreed too - it's a daft car, so it deserves a daft colour. The isotope seemed a little duller than KG - but still good. Never seen a Scandal Green though.
